Hostel vacation rentals in Higashiyama Ward

We really liked the accommodation and totally recommend it! Our room was modern and comfortable, we loved spending time in the huge and very well equipped kitchen and also the common room on the 3F was amazing. The hosts gave us an introduction of the area and lots of tips where to go. We had a sink in our room, the shower and toilet were ouside and shared with other guests, there was even a washing machine which was free to use. The only downside is because of the thin walls the whole house is a bit noisy.

Was a great experience staying in a traditional guesthouse. The hosts were lovely, cafe was great, and our room was clean, tidy and full of character. Shared facilities (kitchen, toilets, showers) were all very basic and old but were clean enough and did the job. Definitely worth the compromise to experience staying a few nights in a traditional Japanese room! We arrived 15 mins early and were told we had to wait to check-in. Not a major issue as we just sat in the cafe and had a coffee but seemed a little unnecessary as the room was clearly ready (and we were clearly exhausted!) Thanks Team Gojo!

It's an amazing accommodation that's also very comfortable! You will learn more about the good restaurants (including bakeries) and also must-see/experience of the surrounding area during the onboarding session 😁 The wall and floor is a bit thin (which I heard is common in japanese style housing) so if you're a light sleeper, it might be an issue (but I sleep like a log so personally it didn't matter to me😬) There's also a shared space on the first floor (kitchen) and 3rd floor (kinda like a library? unfortunately I didn't get to spend time to look around when I stayed though) Thank you Nana, Yusuke, and everyone at the Expo Cottage & Hostel 😁

Great value for money, I had a great time in Kyoto for three days.

Always love staying here!

This is a hostel but not like any hostel in USA. So clean, private, safe, and comfortable. Wang greeted us and made wonderful recommendations so we went to he Monkey Park (WOW) amazing views in their habitat and views, then Hot Springs and Bamboo forest all within walking distance. Ate and drank and local places recommended that we would never have found. Next day - took Uber to Golden Temple. Such a short stay but did so much. Thank you Mulan and Wang! Highly recommend.

Especially clean and comfortable, especially the shower room and bathroom are very clean, the surrounding transportation is also relatively convenient, the front desk staff are super cute and enthusiastic, I like it ~

Wonderful place to stay in Kyoto! The hosts made sure to provide us the warmest welcome by explaining us the area and giving us recommendations. Their kindness has been outstanding. The room is very private (you can lock the door) and beautiful! We loved the morning sun light and the warm colors of the room! We will recommend this place to everyone who wants to visit Kyoto!

This accommodation is very clean and located near to public transportation. The host is very responsive and provides helpful information. Highly recommended!

I think this is the best guesthouse in Kyoto.

The space was very clean and the location was so convenient! We were surprised that the beds were very comfortable. Very satisfied with our stay :)

Lovely lovely host and family! Very very welcoming and helpful. Room is very clean and comfortable. Million praises, no complaints! Definitely come again!

The location of Unknown Kyoto is excellent. It’s nice to see staff welcome us at the receptionist desk. Super easy to check in. Very large kitchen, dining area, and spacious living room is value added. Price is very reasonable, we will definitely come back.

Great Hostel! Loved the atmosphere and the staff was sooo friendly and cheerful ! There are lots of sightsee spots nearby and u can have a great walk along the river and visit some cafes nearby to enjoy the view!

Great accommodation, large room, comfortable bed. Very clean, not far from a 7 eleven, and 10 minutes walk from tokyo station. Would recommend

Large enough space for 10+ people. Good experience!

Very convenient location near to Kyoto station and a short walk from the beautiful streets of Kyoto. Clean and exactly what we needed as a base for our time.

The prettiest capsule hotel I've ever stayed at! The wooden furnishings make fot such a nice atmosphere and the capsules look more like tiny huts than capsules. Masa-san was very accommodating (I was a bit late for check-in, he contacted me and made sure I found the place), he shows you around in person and stresses how important it is to keep to the quiet hours. It works well, the place is very quiet for a capsule hotel. You can do your laundry for free, use the lounge area to eat or make phone calls, and you get a complimentary water bottle and a fresh towel every day. The place is clean and neat, smells nice and the soft background music playing downstairs is relaxing and contributes to the peaceful atmosphere. Definitely would stay again!

One of the best hostel I've stayed. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful. The owner is helpful and even let me check in earlier than the checkin time. If I visit Kyoto again, I'll definitely book this hostel. 💖

It’s a good place to live many days, if you want to stay with Kyoto, here is more quieter and easy going to walk the north of temples. And masa is very nice and friendly, if you have any questions.

I liked the most that it had individual heating. It was warm. Instead, it was dry, so body lotion and toner packs are essential! You changed the towels every day, so I slept with them spread out.👍 The check-in and messages were very friendly. I had a really good stay alone for a low price, so I definitely want to use it again next time: D

The hostel is very neat and clean. Pods are spacious and good enough for one person. The staff were friendly. The location is very good. The shower will be closed for cleaning between 10AM to 3PM. I anyway used to have shower in the night. Overall , im happy with my stay.

I stayed one night here and it was exactly what I expected and the way it is described in the listing. I was happy w my stay. Most notable was the very kind, open, friendly, helpful staff. The evening and morning I was there, the vibe seemed very light and nice—guests and staff alike.

Really friendly host and comfy bed. Maybe bring earplugs though cause the beds make sound if you're below someone stirring around it's hard to sleep.Also some rude people banging on the stairs and playing their videos out loud but that's not the Airbnb fault. I just was too shy to tell them to be quiet haha
